LIVENATION.COM, GMANANDRIZK.COM, SPECTRUM PRESENT… M.I.A. Sunday, May 25 at PNE Forum, doors 6:30pm, show 7:30pm Few artists in recent memory have burst onto the music scene with as many fresh ideas and sounds as M.I.A. Her 2005 debut Arular was a global dance party that made waves in the UK, North America and all over the world. With her sophomore release KALA, M.I.A. proved she’s far more than a flash-in-the-pan. Drawing on pan-global rhythms and funky beats, M.I.A. adds a new urgency in her songcraft and has created a modern classic. Once again working with Diplo and $witch, M.I.A. also teamed up with guests Afrikan Boy and super-producer Timbaland (on album closer “Come Around”) this time out. “The singles "Boyz" and "Paper Planes" are both dance-club smashs' and major press pieces heralding the album have appeared in the New York Times, URB, Exclaim!, and more. With high-profile tours with LCD Soundsystem, Gwen Stefani and countless festival appearances under her belt, M.I.A. has cut across musical boundaries, uniting mainstream pop fans, indie-rockers, and danceclub regulars with her politically charged, but always danceable, New World pop and stunning performances. KALA was also on the Top 10 of many 2007 album of the year lists including Number 3 on Pitchforkmedia's coveted Top 50 list.
